CHRIsrANsBURG, Va, December II
An interesting episode occurred at Floyd
Courthouse yesterday. Mr. Weightman
Shgleman was quietly reading a copy of
the Richmond Despatch, when a very
offensive Republican, Ballard Stricken,
passed, remarking that any man who
read the DiSpatch was a damn some
thing. Stigleman replied that he read it
and found it very good and interest
ing paper. Then followed some
words, when Stigleman, not wish
ing to have a difficulty, walked off
Stricken followed, making some very Of
fensive remarks about Mr.. Stigleman's
father. Stigleman then turned and said
"This thing has gone far enough and
must stop" at the same time putting his
hand to his hip-pocket Strickler stopped
for a rock, and with it or some weapon
advanced. Stigleman called on him to
stop, and upon his not stopping shot.
arm was knocked up by some
one standing near, or Strickler would
now be a corpse, for the shot was line
one, and went into a post only a few
inches above Stricklers head. Some ex-
element prevailed at the time, but soon

DANVILLs NOTES..
The Tobacco TAX-The Market.

lcpeCidl telegram 10 mo il-puttbl
DANvILLE, Va, December al. II.
Neudecker, a prominent wholesale to-
bacconist Of Baltimore. was in the city
to-day, and, on being interviewed on the
question OF the abolition of tue tax on
tobacco, declared that if there WAS any
tax that should be removed it is the i'll
ternal-revenue tax on tobacco. 1t bears
altogether, he said, upon the poorer
class Of farmers and poor people gen
orally, and is in fact favorable to the III
terest of big factories aud rich men only.
Mr.. Neudecker, in speaking of the Ell
feet of abolition upon the msnufac-
turing interests. thought it would give
men Of small means some chance, and
not have business confined strictly to
rich capitalists.
The receipts of tobacco continue very
heavy, and sales to-day were blocked.
Every warehouse was filled with bright
weed and prices were fully maintai 1ed.
There is no prospect of sales getting
around tomorrow. Precious few piles
are taken in, and sellers appear fully sat
lsfied with the prices obtained.
